One one hand
I am thankful that the long,
hard, miserable night is over.
On the other hand,
I am so stinking tired & sleepy
I can't hardly stand it.
Frustrated.
Irritable.
Not the best way to start a Saturday.
Maybe Coffee will rescue me.

​

I remember these old true Service Stations. Where service was utmost.
Where you were more than a dollar.
Where conversations were the order of the morning.
Miss the smells, sights, and sounds. 
​

I need to apologize.
I was reminded this morning of the woman I used to be.
I have let life drain me,
and change the me that I am.
I am sorry.
But in this moment,
I commit to myself,
and to you,
that I will be more ME. 
I challenge YOU,
and myself,
to live this day considering all
that we/I "get" to do ...
not what we/I "have" to do. 
For every thing we complain about,
there is someone somewhere that would be grateful to have to "endure" what we do. 
Here's to a better me,
a better day.
​Love y'all!

At a marching band competition, HOT was not even close to what it was! 
Then, the cloud moved over the sun.
Exactly what we need today!
SHADE!
